why can't you flat tow the car ?

in 3 years i think I've had to disconnect the jeep twice (each time it was my fault, got into a tight situation)...and id rather be safe than sorry.

a couple weeks ago (at Virginia Tech, to see our oldest graduation & commission for the navy) - i used the university free dump tanks & some D.A. blocked the exit....i put my wife in the jeep & had her steer it while i backed our rig up 10 or 15 feet to get out.

if i want to disconnect the jeep (for backing etc) it takes me no more than about 30 seconds - w/ my blue ox aventa tow bar....pull 2 pins, pull the electrical connection & disconnect 2 clevis hooked changes.

the two bar has so much articulation that i can turn really sharp - never had a problem maneuvering around much...even at the RV islands at Flyin' J and campgrounds.

We're 42 feet w/out the jeep (+/- 18 feet for the jeep & tow bar)
